Description:
During the school year, there are a few weeks with Monday holidays (Labor Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President's Day). For these weeks, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), staff that work evening events may not be subject to overtime rates, as the holiday doesn't count toward the 40-hour work week.
